SHORT STORY
While away in Trinidad to study, I travelled a lot. I was always on foot, heading to taxis and maxis to get to wherever I was going to, on time. One Sabbath morning I jumped into a taxi on my way to church and the young taxi driver decided to tell me how inspired he was to see me going to church [How did he know that's where I was headed?] and he decided to tell me - a complete stranger - of his relationship woes! He noted that he had seen me on several occasions going about my business and that too had inspired him! I was totally humbled. I offered him a listening ear and God's enduring love. He also wanted me to pray for Him at church and I also told him that he too should always be in constant prayer. I saw him several times after and he'd always look happy to see me. He also told me the outcome of that morning, and all I could say now is that God answers prayers! I'll never truly know why God directed me to this young man's vehicle but I pray that I can bless all the hearts that I come into contact with - Seen and unseen!
MORAL
It's hard to think that people would be inspired by just seeing you! No actual exchange of words, no effort made on your part! That should give you faith in God and courage in yourself to live in the purpose that He created you for! Don't sell yourself short. Stop believing the lies that you are less than you are. Stay focused on God. Seek His face several times daily. Have a close relationship with Him and, take my word for it, you'll be greatly rewarded!
Inspiration is indeed my way of life. I thrive on every valuable once I find. God has been inspiring me through His word and through the most unexpected of persons. I'd like to continue sharing those with you if you'd permit me!
